IDENTIFYING PARAMETER VALUES IN LOG ENTRIES

Method and system are provided for identifying parameter values in log entries from an application. The method includes receiving a log entry including language text and parameter values and referencing a localization language resource of the application that includes entry types in which translatable language text is distinguished from parameters for the purposes of language substitution for localization of the application. The method identifies an entry type in the localization language resource that corresponds to the log entry and analyzes the log entry with reference to the entry type to distinguish the parameter values from the translatable language text. The parameter values are then extracted from the log entry for analysis.
